The nation's top pro-life organizations are urging Florida Gov. Jeb Bush to exercise his executive authority and intervene to save the life of Terri Schiavo, whose feeding tube was removed March 18.
The pro-life groups joined to form the 11th Hour Coalition to Save Terri Schiavo's Life.
"It is unconscionable that Gov. Bush has not taken executive action to save the life of Terri Schiavo, an innocent woman being brutally murdered in a manner not witnessed publicly since the Nazis in World War II," said Paul Schenck of the National Pro-Life Action Center on behalf of the coalition.
"Frankly, we are baffled by the governor's recent assertion to the Associated Press that, '(he has) not seen any means by which the executive branch can get involved,'" Schenck said in a March 29 press release.
